What Could It Be If Having Bumpy, Itchy Rash On Stomach, Arms Neck And Armpits?
I am a 32 yr old male and for 2 weeks I have had a breakout of red spots (similar to acne) across my torso, arms and neck that do not itch. They are more pronounced when I get out of the shower. I saw a dermatologist a week ago and he prescribed antibiotics, an acne soup and said it would clear up in about a week since it was probably due to "heat'. So far it has not gotten better and a red bumpy, itchy rash has developed under my armpits. Any suggestions?

Hi,
It seems to be an acne form eruption. I would recommend you to continue with the medicines as it will take time to respond. Itchy rash in the armpits could be dermatitis. I would recommend you to take antihistamine like tablet cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching and apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days. This should improve your condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
